SPF & Sun Protection - Face

Aside from potentially causing skin cancer, radiation from the sun degrades the collagen in skin & creates an environment ripe for free radical aggressors. This effects elasticity & can cause hyperpigmentation (sun spots). For SPF you can choose physical sun blocks like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which create a layer on top of this skin that reflects the sun's rays, or chemical UV absorbers like Octocrylene. The best way to stop sun ageing is to avoid exposure altogether and if you want a tan, fake it!

Cult Beauty is the insider’s guide to the world's best beauty products. From skin care to make up, each of the beauty products is chosen by our world-class expert panel for its efficacy and stand-alone brilliance.

What’s your biggest skin issue?

(Just one for now – you can add others later)

Acne/Blemish

One of the most common (and frustrating!) skin concerns, few things can ruin one's day like a breakout. Whether your acne's hormonal, stress-induced or the result of skin imbalance, it's crucial to establish equilibrium and respect skin’s defences.

Anti-pollution

Products which promise to shield our complexions from toxins, pollutants and DNA-damaging free radicals are now an integral part of most skin care routines. Born in South Korea, these products help deflect the ageing impact of the urban atmosphere.

Blackheads/Whiteheads

Caused by clogged pores which then harbour ‘bad’ bacteria, most of us will suffer from blackheads (or pimples) at some stage. Thorough cleansing, regular exfoliation and a clarifying treatment will help decongest and keep skin clean and clear.

Fine Lines/Wrinkles

Stress and sun exposure - as well as genetics - are just some of the reasons for premature lines and wrinkles. From crow’s feet to deep set ‘elevens’, we have instant line-lesseners and long-term solutions to ‘plump’ and diminish the depth of creases.

Hyperpigmentation

Dark spots - whether due to hormones, stubborn blemishes or sun-worship - are the result of over-stimulated melanocytes. The latest innovations can pause melanin production as they fade existing patches so your skin becomes more even.

Oiliness/Shine

Oil is not all bad (it keeps skin looking younger, longer) but, nobody wants a greasy visage. If your sebaceous gland’s in overdrive, astringents work short term but can exacerbate the issue. 'Trick' your skin by treating oil with oil (trust us!).

Psoriasis/Eczema

Seek medical advice if you’re susceptible to eczema (excessively dry, broken skin) or psoriasis (red, inflamed patches). However, there do exist some soothing and reparative ingredients which calm the inflammation and bring swift relief from itching.

Puffy Eyes

Caused by irritation - stress, allergies (or a bad break-up) - as well as being a sure sign of too much booze or too-late nights, puffy eyes are tricky to disguise. Soothe and cool with formulas that boost lymphatic drainage and calm signs of inflammation

Sagging

Responsible for suppleness and 'stretch', our skin makes less elastin as we age. Crêpey-ness, droopy eyelids and jowls are all caused by reduced elasticity, so choose cell-stimulating products to restore its former firmness.

Scarring

Whether textural or due to pigmentation, refining your skin’s texture is the first step towards lessening the visibility of scars. AHAs and retinoids are best friends on the quest for an immaculate complexion – accelerating turnover and triggering repair.

Sensitive Skin

For those with easily-offended complexions we’ve a range of solutions to respect sensitive skin. With soothing and anti-inflammatory ingredients (rose is remarkably calming), its crucial to establish balance – ‘feeding’ skin’s flora to quell reactivity.

Visible Pores

You can't 'shrink' pores and they won't 'close' (they're not doors) but, you can improve their visibility. Often caused by a decline in elasticity, formulas that fortify and increase skin's resilience will improve your complexion's perceived clarity.

What else concerns you?

(Select up to two - or choose none!)

Blackheads/Whiteheads

Caused by clogged pores which then harbour ‘bad’ bacteria, most of us will suffer from blackheads (or pimples) at some stage. Thorough cleansing, regular exfoliation and a clarifying treatment will help decongest and keep skin clean and clear.

Dry Skin

Anything else we should know?

Put off by parabens? Mindful of mineral oil?

Free from

Artificial Fragrance

Everybody loves their skin care to smell lovely, but artificial fragrances can irritate some delicate complexions. If your skin's super sensitive, choose products without 'parfum' - they may not smell of roses but they'll respect petal-esque visages.

Free from

Alcohol

Some prefer their products without alcohol – it can be drying if your skin is easily offended. Fortunately, we have any array of skin solutions which are completely ‘sans alcohol’ – enticing ‘mocktails’ for all those who like to keep things clean.

Free from

Gluten

If you’re allergic to, or intolerant of gluten, you may wish to choose products which are gluten-free. A growing concern for many, the beauty industry is catching up and now its possible to find skin care which subscribes to this ethos.

Free from

Mineral Oil

Derived from petroleum, there's nothing explicitly 'wrong' with mineral oil (sometimes listed as paraffin) - it helps to 'seal' much-needed moisture into skin but can contribute to congestion if you're prone to blemishes and blackheads.

Natural (>80%)

A great way to clean up your skin care routine, our super-natural formulations boast more than 80% plant-derived extracts to nourish your cells and encourage a healthy complexion. With cold-pressed oils and potent actives, they’re perfect for purists.

Free from

Polyethylene Glycol (PEGs)

PEGs (or polyethylene glycols) are groups of compounds which have multiple functions – to lubricate skin and deliver active ingredients to where they’re needed. However, they’re not great if your skin is sensitive – proceed with caution if you’re acneic.

Pregnancy Safe

If you’re expecting then you might wish to proceed with caution when it comes to skin care (and some key ingredients). Although the majority of products are completely safe for use throughout your pregnancy, our edit has been given the ‘thumbs up’.

Free from

Silicone/Dimethicone

Silicones are what give products 'slip' - creating that spreadable texture that unifies skin and creates a smooth canvas for make up. They help to lock in moisture but can be comedogenic (pore-clogging) so avoid them if you're prone to imperfections.

Free from

Sulphates (SLS)

Sulphates (SLS) are synthetic cleansing agents (they cause your cleansing gels to lather). Although there's very little to suggest they're damaging, some can find them 'stripping' which is why they're best avoided if your skin is dry or compromised.

Vegan

With growing numbers of health-conscious individuals subscribing to a vegan diet, demand for ethical cosmetics that are completely free from animal by-products (honey, beeswax and latic acid, for example) is an ever more common concern.
